Release Trade Computer Extension Mk.II

cause you got none you have to be at each market which is posibible for the route once -- not enough date no route....you can cheese i but rtfm
 
When I want to click on Routes -> Planner or Routes -> Finder I only get the Message "No Data"

You must have at least two registered markets in your database, otherwise you get the message, you saw.

Fill up your database with plenty of markets around your current position by using the EDDB-Relay option at the launcher.

Checkout these beginner hints:
  • TCE is delivered with a blank database of trade markets. So you choose either to start with it, adding markets you came across, to have your own personal database, or starting with a pre-populated database of markets, created by EDDB-Relay, for a selected distance of light years and light seconds around your current postition in game. Is that your choice, enter the EDDB-Relay window at the launcher and create a starter database. Good values for range and distance are 30 LY and 8k LS.
  • With the support tools, I suggest to use EDMC, which provides the market data for TCE by using Frontier's Companion API. Set up EDMC once (see Guide Section), thereafter it's not required to be run, only when updated.
  • The actual commodity prices may differ after some time from the prices, you have stored within TCE, but you can mass-update all stored prices by EDDB-Relay before launching TCE. Enter the EDDB-Relay window and hit the 'Update Prices' button. Every stored market in TCE got checked and updated, if required. This has to be done only once a day.
 
Question for you all... I'm having a heck of a time getting the mouse to show up over the game screen - windowed borderless. I can see the cursor for brief moments if I happen to glance over the ui, but otherwise I'm flying blind. I've tried the various options under graphics without success, and it doesn't matter what screen mode I display in, the damned mouse simply isn't visible in game.

I've got a multi monitor setup, so there's that. Interacting with TCE as an overlay that I have to click to and click back from is difficult as hell when you can't use you cursor reliably. keys are an option yes, but they don't serve to understand the fundamental problem - they just avoid it which is a bit unsatisfactory, you know? Update: Changed binding to keyboard an mouse and the dmaned thing still doesn't show up in the game window. In the menu it functions correctly, but not in game...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Anyway, if you've seen this, please let me know.

To make your mouse pointer quickly visible for using the TCE overlay, add a keybind to "Focus Interface" in TCE.
Additionally you can add a keybind to "Show/Hide Interface".
I'm a HOTAS user but IIRC, there is no mouse pointer in game.

Thanks for the hint, update your TCE version to add the missing entries to your database.

Generally spoken, I will add new entries of resources by an update of TCE, but you be able to do it with the Database panel until an update is available.

Trying to install TCE on another networked computer (have done this with a previous TCE version a long time ago). I have setup the paths in TCE.config. The paths are to the network mapped computer running ED. E.g. the JournalPath is:
JournalPath="X:\Users\Thacyoon\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous"

However, when I start TCE I get an error message saying: Could not find part of the path "c:\Users\Thacyoon\Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous". Notice that the X drive is now a c drive letter in the errormessage. If I try to install TCE on the main computer (where ED is installed - all is fine)

Oh, and EXCELLENT work with TCE. I am returning to ED and I am trilled to see TCE is still going strong. If I could just get it to connect via network as it did earlier.

Here is part of the error message:

Hello and welcome back!

Thanks for your report, fixed the error with the update above. You are now able to change the required path for the ED config files, so they can be accessed over the network.
